This week’s tweet was super easy to pick: 3 new talks released by Apple! It covers several techniques for optimising UI performance, worth checking out!

I found this blog post by Shaun interesting for two reasons: It’s not only explaining how you can turn SwiftUI views into images but it’s also shows his progress towards finding out how to do it. A great read.

Sarun W. wrote this article a few weeks ago but I only found it this week. It explains how you can manually symbolicate crash reports, something you might not often need but if you do, it’s very useful to know how it works. While you’re at his blog post, make sure to check out his new side menu with a nice overview of the post.

A short but to the point blog post by Sofia Swidarowicz explaining the benefits of using KeyValuePairs in Swift.

Jesse Squires explains a scenario that you might have been running into as well. The order of execution on initialising instances might have an effect on your instance setup. Jesse explains why.

Although I doubt whether you’ll need this often I found it really interesting to read this post by Bruno Rocha explaining how @inlinable and @usableFromInline work and when you need it.

I often reference posts explaining code techniques but it’s not often that I find an article explaining decisions and elements used. Daniel Saidi explains the story behind building the Swedish video streaming app Cineasterna.

As Ben Cohen accounted on Twitter, the async/await proposal got accepted. In his tweet, he shows us a dependency graph to create a little overview. I can’t wait for this to arrive and throw away those closures!

A little present from the team behind Objc.Io: SwiftUI Layout Explained video series is free to watch until the end of the year! Don’t miss this opportunity!
